Getting rid of the popular ß17(}{

Hey,

I recently broke up with my girlfirend (like 4 days ago) and I think I (already) like someone new (I really guess I just didn't like my ex).

Anyway, the girl I think I like is named Emily. Emily is sort of in the popular group and I'm sort of not. (you know what they say, "The nerds may buy the world, but high school with always belong to the popular kids) Emily is basically the slave to the most popular girl in the entire school. I have never really gotten to know her because A. shes quiet all the time and B. whenever she talks the girl that she follows around everywhere talks over her.

Lizzie is the girl she follows around. I've really never been friends with Lizzie and I've always considered her a spoiled brat and a bitch. Lizzie doesn't really like me either and so everytime I try to go over and talk to Emily I get shooed away by Lizzie. I don't really know how I can get near Emily alone so I can actually get a chance to know her better.

Help!

Thanks,
DarkDwarf

Guess what. I used to be an Emily. In 11th grade, I started dating a guy against my Lizzie's wishes, and she totally cut me off.

Best thing that ever happened to me.

Eventually, Emily will rebel against Lizzie. Be sure that you're there to back her up when she does. When the time comes, be pro-Emily, not anti-Lizzie. Make it as much about Emily as possible.

Thanks

I just figured out that Emily is in my advisory (equilvalent to homeroom except we get together a little more) and Lizzies not. sweet.

Well there's your opportunity then! Good luck.
